Dirac DLBC now available for Marantz and Denon AVRs - Onkyo and Pioneer coming soon?

[wheelbarrow]

The title says it all - Dirac has been advertising for a while now (and also at CES I presume) that you can now purchase DLBC for Marantz and Denon AVRs. Can anyone at Dirac comment if other brands will get the opportunity for an upgrade via software/firmware, like the Onkyo RZ50 or Pioneer VSX-LX805? If not, what is the technical or business reason preventing such an upgrade?

Additionally, I assume we'll start seeing AVRs with ART coming in 2025 or later. I was also happy to see more car brands offering or parntering with Dirac at CES. The real prize there will be Lexus/Toyota one day.

Thanks,

The Pioneer VSX-LX805 already has options for Single or Multi Sub DLBC along with it's Onkyo and Integra siblings (since June, 2023). Hopefully ART to come sometime in 2024.
